Overview of this book

Blockchain and Hyperledger are open source technologies that power the development of decentralized applications. This Learning Path is your helpful reference for exploring and building blockchain networks using Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Hyperledger Composer. Blockchain Development with Hyperledger will start off by giving you an overview of blockchain and demonstrating how you can set up an Ethereum development environment for developing, packaging, building, and testing campaign-decentralized applications. You'll then explore the de facto language Solidity, which you can use to develop decentralized applications in Ethereum. Following this, you'll be able to configure Hyperledger Fabric and use it to build private blockchain networks and applications that connect to them. Toward the later chapters, you'll learn how to design and launch a network, and even implement smart contracts in chain code. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to build and deploy your own decentralized applications by addressing the key pain points encountered in the blockchain life cycle. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Blockchain Quick Start Guide by Xun (Brian) Wu and Weimin Sun • Hands-On Blockchain with Hyperledger by Nitin Gaur et al.

Summary


You've learned how to make a real business network, using Hyperledger technology. You know how to interact with the business network as a user, as a designer, and as an application developer. You know how to define the participants, assets, transactions, and events, and how to implement their creation in the code. You know how to expose these as APIs so that external applications can consume them! You can learn a lot more about Hyperledger Composer and Hyperledger Fabric, consult the product documentation to do that. Armed with that information, and the knowledge in this chapter, you're in a great place to start building your own business network!

Let's now turn our attention to how we manage the development lifecycle in a blockchain network - how we achieve agility in a blockchain network. We'll look at the process and tools that help us set up and manage the day-to-day operations of getting blockchain software developed.
